there was a quote from ozzy osbourne years ago where he had fired buckethead with the note -We couldn't work with him, he'd never remove his mask, we thought one day we'd be ready for a show and there'd be a note on his door

In the last hour, there have been 2 new posts on the Geek Group forums. New posts made by: Radioactive on Most dangerous compounds that you have ever had to deal with......Cprossu on Most dangerous compounds that you have ever had to deal with.

Most access control systems have a 'local' box, a central computer will upload data to these local boxes, the data is basically the auth codes, this means the network is not overloaded with auth requests.

The only thing we had a problem with was if a local box was offline for maintenance at the same time a badge was updated it may not accept the badge straight away, but the local box would then request from the server for an update, just means you may have to show a badge 2 or 3 times.

btw, the same system is used for international companies, auth can be done over the internet too, so if you work in the UK and have access to certain areas of a building, you get the same access rights if you visit the American branch

oh yeah, i would personally have a local box close to the cnc machines, when activated it would be like pressing the start button on a switch (it would not stop the machine as part of safety, you do that manually when you finish)

Most machines have a start and stop button, if the CNC's had a separate start/stop, but without a start button, you swipe the card to start, then you usee the cnc in the normal way, when you finish usng it you press the stop

all ya do is SELECT `user_id` FROM `user` WHERE `user_rifd` <=> %varable% AND `user_sha_challange` <=> %varable2%; if a result is returned then do SELECT `granted` FROM `user_access` WHERE `user_id` <=> %userId% AND `asset_id` <=> %asset_requested%;

exor674, the machines have an isolation switch on the wall, you would turn that on when you want to use it, and turn it off wen you are finished, and to ensuure untrained persons don't use the machines you can put a padlock through the switch.

i dont know much about haas but i assume you have a start button on the machine on UIC machines its a momentary start button you press it whenever you want to make it zero, start a run, start a setup function ... thus putting the cutoff on the start button would be the ideal place for a UIC PNP machine

angy: as a general critique of your development model, I would think you'd have more community buy-in if it was more open. I totally understand keeping actual development to a limited number of people. But you notice none of us (the guys that give the The Geek Group money and the actual users of the system) have a clue what's going on with the core software

This degauss coil isn't wrapped in electrical tape, wich means I can remove the outer casing without damaging the coil (or ending up with a sticky messy coil) - wich in turn means I have a few hundred meters of magnet wire that could become a tc.

Killa-x, if you break the nipple in the middle of the pins, the air rushes in (may take a minute to equalise), then you tap around the neck to break it off, you can then tap the rest of the glass so it collapses into the front part, you can also break the neck assembly using the fronf section as a catchment 'bowl'

So first you try it out, then you develop a theory about what is wrong, then you take it apart, try what you think is bad, swear, put it all together, undo it since you did it wrong, put it together again, try it, notice it didnt work, open again, cuss, remove some hoses, blow them through, reassemble, cuss, disassemble and properly reassemble, cuss more, try it out, notice a leak, diassemble, replace hose clamp, reassemble, notice

BTW, I'm gonna pull an all nighter tonite, because the only version of the book that I need to read that I could find online for free was in an audio book, so I can do the first 2 and last 2 paragraphs trick :(
